Re:cap of last episode - A caterpillar crawls on the tree outside of Leota’s apartment. Leota is on her laptop talking to Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). The same actress from The Suicide Squad (2021)! She doesn’t turst Murn and Amanda tells her to hide Peacemaker’s Diary in his trailer. We find the shocker, that Leota is the daughter of Amanda Waller! Annie, the woman whom Peacemaker met at the bar, is brushing her teeth after their night together. Chris is happy in his tightie whities and sees the record player so does his song and dance. He likes her record collection because John says, “This is when men were men because they weren’t afraid to be women.” Annie walks to the kitchen and grabs a knife. She becomes feral and very strong, tossing Chris around the apartment! He decides to jump through the window and crash down.
Chris has crawled to his car and puts on his Peacemaker helmet. He voice activates the sonic boom which shreds Annie and puts a crater in the parking lot! Emilia gets a call from Peacemaker who is angry about the situation, she gets dressed, as Chris goes back to get his uniform from Annie’s apartment. She is frustrated she can’t get her shirt buttoned and hammers on the apartment of the “new girl”, Leota, telling her to drive and that Peacemaker killed a “butterfly.” Chris gets to the apartment and awkwardly puts on his uniform as another song plays on the record. Murn gets an update from Emilia as he walks into the base, Henenlotter Video. Economos runs up with his case. Emilia while Leota is driving assembles a gun and wars her about Keeya. Murn has Economos change the registration on Peacemaker’s car.
Detective Sophie Song (Annie Chang) is investigating the scene with her partner, Larry Fitzgibbon (Lochlyn Munro). She hopes it involves “capes” and notes that there is enough problems with Vigilante. An officer has picked up what she thinks is a pizza, but Sophie tells her it’s a human face! Leota pulls up next to the parking lot as Chris picks up Annie’s record collection and a strange device. Emilia calls Peacemaker and tries to warn him about the police. Sophie sees his helmet and sends officers to the exits. She wants Peacemaker to jump from the second floor. Then, she has Leota drive around to the back of the apartment. Sophie checks out the apartment as other officers see Peacemaker at the stairwell and go check on the apartments. Peacemaker knocks on a door and then forces himself inside.
He takes married couple, Evan (Lenny Jacobson) and Amber (Alison Arya) Calcaterra, as his hostages. She admires Peacemaker’s taste in music and doesn’t mind being tied up, then they start to argue. Peacemaker jumps down balconies as Sophie breaks into the apartment. Officers converge on the back of the building. The police have their guns drawn on Peacemaker, but they are taken out by tranquilizer rounds by Emilia. Sophie warns and then shoots at Peacemaker. He calls for Eagly and then escape! Morning, Economos changed the fingerprints of Peacemaker. August Smith answers Sophie Song and the officer thinks he is playing superhero. He says it was his son’s car. The car registration was changed to Chris’ father which makes Murn angry.
Economos tries to sew up Chris’ wounds and brings up Bat-Mite, the interdimensional imp. Very funny, Batman’s biggest fan debuted in Detective Comics #267 (1959), he is known for appearing in the 1977 The New Adventures of Batman and other cartoons. It’s crazy to think Gunn brought him in the DCU. Emilia suspects Amanda Waller gave the butterfly information about Peacemaker. She narrows it down to Leota, but Chris turns it hilariously to Economos. Then, Chris remembers that he left the contract kill folder that Annie was reading in bed. Murn is angry at him and then gets a phone call that there were witnesses. He has Leota takes “care of them” to which Leota asks what he means with finger guns, funny! Back at his trailer, Chris puts on the Firehouse record he took from Annie’s collection, and starts crying, more laughs.
He is sad that everyone hates him and regrets killing Rick Flag. Character development for Peacemaker? Then, sees Vigilante is at the window, a hilarious conversation that Peacemaker makes about comparing him to Louis CK. Leota is outside in the apartment hall when Amber and Evan are about to go see mug shots. She offers a trip to Lake Tahoe for a bribe. Vigilante offers to clean up Peacemaker’s living space as he sits on his couch. He thinks of himself as Peacemaker’s best friend. Chris has started to question his mission. Vigilante admits that he likes killing people. They go out to the forest to target practice on applicances. The best friends like blowing up things and toss dynamite at each other. At the police station, the Calcaterras both point out the picture of Auggie. Sophie has a smile as they arrest him for the murder of Annie. This second episode of Peacemaker really gets the right vibe of comedy, violence, and just the craziest mash-up of comic books!
Five Peacemaker Helmets out of Five!
